INCREASE THE FORCE.

1t would appear from our advices that
Wichita needs policemen as well as police
commissioners The Times is the friend of
Wichita in all matters pertaining to her
healthful advancement. Increase the po-
lice force. Kansas City Times.
Recent developments would seem to indi-
cate that there has been an influx of thieves
into the city Such things have happened
before, but their stay has never been OF
long duration. Our police force have
always been equal to the emergency and
fired the roughs from the town or handed
them over to the county attorney to be
sent to the penitentiary. Since, however,
it has been published to the world that the
government of this city has been taken
away from the people and put into the
hands of a ring, tn ieves have concluded
here is the place for them. Wichita took
care of herself from the days of the festive
cow boy up to the present. But this sense
less metropolitan police business has done
more to demoralize our police force than
ANYTHING else. OF course, even fool
thief knows he will have a better chance
to ply his trade in city whose government
or police force is not responsible to the

TREAT Us FAIRLY.

Our friend Axline, in his very excellent
paper, the Medicine Lodge Clesset, com
mands our admiration in asserting tha,
Wichita is the best town in the state. " but
he does us real injustice in reiterating the
words of our enemies that Wichita was OF

proportion 10 her population there was,
and is, less drinking in Wichita than in
any considerable town or city in Kansas.

the prohibition law was and is persistentIy
violated and that our city authorizes

revenue from such traffic either directly or

It's the unequal, unjust and IN American

few citizens, 10 take the government of a
whole people into their own hands with
no chance to appeal to the ballot box

Brer Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution,
rubs it into the political meddlers in the
following words: "As tc the Confederate
flags, we may say that the Confederacv is
dead, and does not need them. The whole
business is bubble that needs only to be
looked at in common sense way. There
are fools at the north and at the SOUTH
Between these the nation must steer. Those
who captured the Confederate flags had
considerable fighting to do, and they are
entitled to keep them. Wherever they are
kept they are the evidence of the valor of
both sides.

PIN FEATHERS.

Quinn BOhanan, SmOOtn-tOngueQ crlm
inal in the Otoe county bastile at Nebraska
City, escaped Thursday after an imprison
ment of four years. Richard Kloke, one
of the guards, is accuse of liberating him
and has been put under arrest Five
hundred dollars reward has been offered
for the return of the criminal.
The statement is made in New Yorh
City paper that one railroad carried %, 00(
country boarders to farm houses in three
counties in the state, where they stayed or
an average eight weeks each, and left il
the hands of farmers 81, 400, 900. If TIT
statement is true summer boaTders appear
to be the best paying crop farmer car
raise.
A Texas paper says: 1.-The only mar
who thus far has claimed the $500 reward
for an Apache head is VIM Bitters, %
Tuscon. He is an old scout and says he
killed his Indian near Warm Sulphur
Springs" And such an action is mot befit
ting an inhabitant of a civilized nation
The man is a murderer, should be arrested
and if guilty punished for the crime.
The invention of new optical glass is
said to be creating sensation in the Ger
man scientific world The glass, owing to
its great refracting power, promises to be
of marked influence in practical optics, in
asmuch as it will admit of the production
of lenses of short width, such as it has
hitherto been impossible to retain. For
microscopic photography it will be of the
greatest importance.
From the Omaha high school, Thursday
evening. twenty young ladies and ten
young gentlemen were graduated. Here
as elsewhere it will be noticed that the fair
sex unfailingly lead the boys in the number
of graduates, resulting from a mistaken
idea of young boys that they are men and
the business world can no longer do with
out them and necessitates the ending of
their school days without even common
grammar school education.
In the town of jackson, Tenn, there is a

Capt. Jack Hussey, who died in New
Y ork from pistol shot wound inflicted
several weeks ago by Policeman Hahn,
wore over twenty medals for heroism in
aving persons from drowning. The first
life save by him was that of the woman
who is now his widow. This was at Dun
kirk in 1852. He had medals from con-
gress and several legislatures and life saw
ing societies. On hearing of the refusal
Of the Royal Humane Society of London to
grant him a medal because he was born in
ireland, he declared that the next time he
saw man drowning he would ask him if
ne was British subject, and if he said
Yes, - he would let him drown.

THINGS FOR WHICH WE SHOULD BE
THANKFUL.

There are thousands of good people in
this city today who will repair to their nu-
merous places of worship to praise Him
who ruleth ALL There are many things for
which the people of Wichita can feel
thankful this morning. We are inclined
when contemplating the great things which
have come TO us as people to give our
selves and think by our wisdom have we
gotten all this. We should not forget this
morning that we are told in the sacred
scriptures that ga mans heart deviseth his
way; but the Lord directeth his steps.
There are many things for which the
EAGLE feels thankful this morning. 1t is
with feelings Of profound gratitude that she
complacently folds her wings and contem-
plates the situation The I'M
parallel prosperity of this city,
which in the construction of
business houses and homes for her peo-
pie shows greater per cent of increase
than any other city in America, exhibits
no signs of hating in her majestic strides.
Her people today more than ever before
are inspired with faith in the future 4
faith that begets work, and her people are
laying deep and solid the foundations of
numerous enterprises, which will insure
our continued prosperity as city.
The commercial and industrial institu-
tions of our city, magnificent as has been
their growth, has not caused our people to
forget their educational and religious in
terests. The erection of magnificent insti
tutions Of learning goes steadily on. And
there are few people even in Wichita who
can realize the number of magnificent
houses of worship that have been erected
and now in course of construction in this
city.
The drouth which prevailed in the early
spring and seemed to render even an aver
age crop of grain impossible was happily
the refreshing rains of the present month
has revived the crops and cheered the hearts |
of our farmers From all over this state |
comes word that the present prospect for
abundant crops were never before equaled
in Kansas, The prosperity of our entire
people depends more than anything else
upon our agricultural industries. Pros
perity for the farmers of Kansas means
prosperity for the whole state.
The political situation during the past
week has resulted in the exhibition of a re-
markable amount of common sense through
out the country. The attempt of Grover
Cleveland and Jefferson Davis to make the
people believe the recent suppression
of an unholy rebellion was con-
flict between sovereign states has been
ridiculed as it should be by the loyal
people Of the county.
The recent'enactment of the legislature |
to take the government Of cities out of the |
hands of the people and place it in the
hands of political ring is also universally
condemned by the patriotic people not
only of this city but by the people of every
city of Kansas. All of which shows the
people of this country are true to the right.
Everything going to show that the people
have faith in God. Our country and them
selves has tendency to make the EAGLE
feel profoundly thankful
